"Killing Daoist, do you still remember me?" Lu Chen jumped onto a higher Stone Mountain, getting closer to Killing.
He was very familiar with Killing, so upon hearing the voice, he immediately recognized him.
Killing had killed Li Shian on Killing Green Mountain. Li Shian was Lu Chen's master. Everything Lu Chen had achieved was thanks to Li Shian, who had essentially given him a second life.
Moreover, before Li Shian died, he left three last wishes, the first being for Lu Chen to eliminate Killing and avenge him.
This matter had dragged on for over a year, and Lu Chen had yet to accomplish it. He had not fulfilled any of Li Shian's three last wishes, which weighed heavily on his mind.
This burden only hindered his Intentions and created obstacles in Lu Chen's mental state. If it weren't for the delays in resolving this matter, perhaps Lu Chen's state of mind would be even higher now.
"Who are you? I remember now; you are Lu Chen. So it's you. I thought it was someone else who could obtain the parchment from Young Master Ming with such skill. Heh, you're not just anyone; you seem quite formidable," Killing said with slight surprise.
"Killing, why pretend? If I hadn't been lucky enough to be saved by my master Li Shian that day, I would have likely died on Killing Green Mountain or become bait in your hands. No need for pleasantries. I thought you were still in Han Wangfu, so I might not seek you out in the near future. But now that you've come to me, I can't be blamed for what happens next."
Lu Chen pointed at Killing across from him and spoke fiercely. His hatred for Killing ran deep; sooner or later, he would take action against him to resolve his inner turmoil and fulfill one of Li Shian's last wishes.
"You want to kill me? That depends on whether you have the ability," Killing replied.
Across from him, Killing could clearly sense the killing intent emanating from Lu Chen. However, he did not show any discomfort; instead, he appeared smug and unconcerned.
"Is that so? Killing Daoist."
Lu Chen uttered this and then leaped into the air with Flesh, flying towards Killing at an unusual speed and throwing a powerful punch.
During his flight, Lu Chen exchanged his spirit and flesh, using the Flesh of a Qi Master to rapidly circulate True Qi within him, channeling energy into his fist before unleashing it with all his might.
Suddenly, sixteen Fist Shadows flew through the air like a large net cast towards Killing, almost engulfing him completely.
Seeing this, Killing quickly jumped to another Stone Mountain. Just moments ago, Lu Chen's full-force strike had sent energy flying out that brushed past his clothing, nearly injuring him.
Yin Spirit If one has not reached the realm of Void Immortal, it is very easy to be harmed by a Qi Master up close. Especially a Qi Master who has condensed their vital energy and Fist Intent, clearly, the Lu Chen before him is of this caliber.
Killing landed on Stone Mountain, his eyes narrowed as he looked up at Lu Chen, surprised, saying, “Spirit-Body Unity, thirty-two Fist Intents, harming with vital energy? Hmph.”
Lu Chen had just flown over in the state of Yin Spirit. When he struck Killing, he quickly switched to the state of Qi Master and unleashed Fist Intent along with his vital energy. This series of actions was incredibly smooth, showcasing the results of Lu Chen's daily hard work.
Harming with vital energy is also a level of Qi Master. A Qi Master cannot fly, and if they engage in long-range combat with a Yin God Practitioner, they would suffer significant disadvantages.
First, regardless of whether they can defeat a Yin God Practitioner, the issue of whether they can even hit them is a problem. Fist Shadow can inflict damage on a Yin God Practitioner from a distance, and so can vital energy.
A Qi Master is essentially a mass of Yang Qi Flame, like a pair of blazing fires; ordinary Yin Spirits would not dare to approach, as they would be burned to death upon contact.
Thus, a Qi Master generally cannot see ghosts, and ghosts do not dare to let themselves be seen by a Qi Master. Ghosts are Yin Spirits, and Yin Spirits are ghosts; there is no distinction between the two.
The vital energy emitted by a Qi Master acts like a living protective membrane. This vital energy becomes more intense as the level of the Qi Master increases; controlling this vital energy is instinctual for them.
However, if one can utilize this vital energy and manipulate it at will to harm others, that represents a higher level than just Fist Intent.
Lu Chen inadvertently broke through to this level. Just now, he attacked Killing simultaneously with both Fist Shadow and vital energy, which was how he did it.
It is precisely because this level is rare that Killing was astonished—astonished by Lu Chen's talent and also by how quickly he progressed; in just over a year, he had grown to such an extent, which was simply unbelievable.
With a cold smile, Killing flipped his Yin Spirit, raised his right hand to form a seal, and summoned a wisp of dark blue flame at his fingertips before flicking it towards Lu Chen.
This move was none other than Killing's signature technique, the Slaughtering Yin Divine Fire. If this flame were to hit a Yin Spirit, it would burn them alive without any chance of survival.
Seeing the wisp of Slaughtering Yin Divine Fire shot towards him with a whoosh, it quickly approached.
Lu Chen did not dodge; instead, he thrust out his chest directly into its path. The flame sputtered twice; instead of blazing fiercely, it extinguished immediately.
“Killing Daoist, your Slaughtering Yin Divine Fire is useless against me. My master, Li Shian, once fell into madness due to lack of clarity in his thoughts and was ambushed by you using this dark technique—he even lost all his hair because of you. Today, I will make you pay for that,” shouted Lu Chen at Killing.
Slaughtering Yin Divine Fire is a dark technique, effective for ambushing others, but using it openly against an opponent is rather ridiculous.
Killing sent a Yin Spirit to gather information, so his Flesh must be lingering in a nearby camp. Therefore, at this moment, Killing is merely a Yin Spirit that can manifest and poses no threat to Lu Chen.
Moreover, Killing has been severely injured by Li Shian, having undergone a rebirth through possession, which greatly diminished his cultivation. Thus, his current level is simply not on par with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's Flesh soared into the air; with a sweep of his arm, he unleashed dozens of Imperial Aura blasts. These dozens of Imperial Aura, slicing through the wind like blades, gleamed coldly as they violently cut through the air towards Killing.
Seeing this, Killing quickly summoned a five-sided star shield to surround his Flesh, blocking Lu Chen's Imperial Aura and preventing the damage from the blades.
The Mystic Gate Five-Star Shield, used by Killing, is a technique from the Star Gate's Qi Gong Martial Arts. Indeed, it is a form of Qigong, but has been adapted by Killing into a defensive Spell.
“Killing Daoist, you have managed to evolve the Star Gate's Qi Gong Martial Arts into a Spell that can be cultivated by a Yin Spirit. I must admit you have some skill, but you are too concerned about your own safety. Therefore, you must die today,” Lu Chen said fiercely to Killing.
The fact that Killing practiced defensive Spells indicates a fear of death; perhaps he hasn't realized it yet, but such tendencies will indeed hinder his progress in cultivation in the long run.
Killing fails to notice this, likely because his mindset hasn't reached that level yet. In contrast, Lu Chen has achieved this understanding; hence he never practices defensive Spells or defensive forms of Qi Gong Martial Arts.
He believes that practicing such techniques is an expression of fear of death. Instead, he focuses solely on cultivating brutal strength and powerful offensive techniques—killing without fear or pain—that is the true essence of cultivation, something most people would not understand.
Indeed, while Killing used the Mystic Gate Five-Star Shield to block Lu Chen's attack and avoided damage this time, just as he was feeling proud of himself.
Lu Chen struck again with his left hand, launching another wave of dozens of Imperial Aura, forcefully slicing through the air towards Killing.
Without pausing, Lu Chen's arms danced continuously as streams of Imperial Aura formed into a cluster of vines directly enveloping the top of Killing's Mystic Gate Five-Star Shield.
In just a few moments, Killing could no longer hold on; the shield was shattered. He simply could not withstand the force of Lu Chen's attacks. It could also be said that his mindset succumbed to that of Lu Chen. The relentless determination to crush everything in his path was something that Killing could never comprehend.
As soon as the shield was broken, the shockwave hit the Yin Spirit, which hurriedly jumped aside while staring at Lu Chen, astonishment evident in his eyes.
At that moment, he felt that the present form of Lu Chen was terrifying—like a grim reaper radiating an overwhelming aura of slaughter that made one tremble.
Killing focused and weighed the pros and cons, then in a flash, Yin Spirit disappeared from the spot.
Faced with Lu Chen's murderous intent, he began to flee. A wise man does not suffer immediate losses; it was better to leave this dangerous place first.
Killing returned to a void state, disappearing from sight. The manifestation of Yin Spirit and its return to the void was merely a process.
However, although Killing returned to the void state, he would still leave traces while escaping, and discovering him was not difficult.
Lu Chen released his aura, and in the blink of an eye, he knew which direction Killing had fled.
"Thinking of running? Can you really escape? Killing Daoist, I am determined to kill you today; it won't matter where you go." Lu Chen shouted, and then Flesh directly manifested into an Electric Python, soaring into the air from Stone Mountain at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, chasing after the direction in which Killing had fled.
The direction Killing was fleeing towards was precisely where their camp was located. Since Killing had come, it was enough to indicate that Korea had sent people to participate in the treasure hunt.
Compared to Qi Kingdom, Korea was at a significant disadvantage.
Firstly, Korea's land was very barren, producing far less grain than Qi Kingdom. Additionally, Korea had no practices of withholding taxes or tributes each year; they paid in full every year, which also contributed to Korea's poverty.
